A beautifully written memoir about a brilliant young surgeon's journey through ambition and dedication to exploitation and burnout. 

Reading Dr. Kadota's story made me feel so much anger at so many people. For being a woman of color in this industry, she suffered from racism to harassment, being called emotional. 

This is an incredible read. I have enormous respect for anyone working in the medical industry, and this book reaffirms how much we have to thank the medical staff for. The lack of empathy and support that exists for them is tragic. 

This memoir is thoughtful and moving, showing us that Dr. Kadota's resilience, dedication and effort is truly admirable. 

I highly recommend this book about a brilliant young doctor and the challenges she faces.

TW: mental health, racism, misogyny, bullying, sexual harrassment, family violence, sexual assault and suicide themes.
